I trace&nbsp;how state ideologues imagined and created policies for&nbsp;museums&nbsp;and assess museum theorist and practitioners\u2019 responses to these ideas. Rather than offering a one-dimensional view of museums under socialism characterized exclusively by ideology, I show how museum professionals&nbsp;took up the ideological task assigned&nbsp;given to them by the state but developed ideas and practices that&nbsp;<em>surpassed&nbsp;<\/em>official policies and practices. Museum theorists and professionals were invested in transforming museums into public centered spaces and it was the&nbsp;<em>inadequacies<\/em>&nbsp;of ideological practices that drove them to reimagine how museums should function for ordinary people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexandra Zaremba is a doctoral candidate in History at American University. Her work has been published in\u00a0<em>Contemporary European History\u00a0<\/em>and various edited volumes. Alexandra\u2019s dissertation\u00a0reassesses memory culture in Yugoslavia and through it traces the changing presence and meaning of World War II and the Holocaust in Yugoslav society.
